Name Change After Marriage - Will IRS Transcripts Update Automatically?

I got married and changed my last name. Filed on 1/29 but can't see my transcripts for this year with my new last name, though I can see previous years with my old name. Not sure if I need a new account or if it updates automatically? Only thing I've gotten is state verification request which I completed.

make sure u changed it with SSA first! that's literally step 1 or nothing else will work

PATH Act 2024: Anyone with EITC/ACTC gotten DDD on transcript yet?

Getting anxious about my refund... Im a PATH act filer and checking my transcripts every day but still nothing. Has anyone who claims EITC or child tax credit seen any movement or gotten their deposit dates yet? Really need this money to catch up on bills.

Called IRS yesterday and they said PATH refunds should start processing after Feb 15. the rep said to expect updates around Feb 24-28

PSA: State and Federal Tax Systems Are Completely Separate - Stop Asking IRS About State Taxes!

Federal and state taxes are totally separate systems. The IRS cant help with state tax questions and state revenue offices cant help with federal tax issues. Been seeing way too many posts mixing these up lately. Save yourself time and call the right agency.

y'all really out here thinking the IRS and state tax offices have lunch together or sumthing ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Is My $7,004 Refund Correct? $24K Self-employed Income with Head of Household and EIC

I just filed my 2024 return as self-employed and got my transcript today from the IRS. My refund shows -$7,004.00 and I want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. I filed as Head of Household with earned income credit. My adjusted gross income was $24,645.00 with taxable income of $2,196.00. My self-employment taxable income was $24,490.00, with a total self-employment tax of $3,747.00. Here's what my account transcript from the Internal Revenue Service shows: Request Date: 02-11-2025 Response Date: 02-11-2025 FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -7,004.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -7,004.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED: EXEMPTIONS: 04 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 24,645.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 2,196.00 TAX PER RETURN: 3,747.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 24,490.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 3,747.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 17, 2025 TRANSACTIONS: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 | Tax return filed | 20250505 | 02-17-2025 | $3,747.00 766 | Credit to your account | | 04-15-2025 | -$3,322.00 768 | Earned income credit | | 04-15-2025 | -$7,429.00 Looking at the transcript, I see there's a credit to my account for -$3,322.00 and an earned income credit of -$7,429.00. The account balance shows -$7,004.00 with zero accrued interest and penalties as of Feb. 24, 2025. Just want to make sure everything is processing right before I get too excited. The return was processed on Feb. 17, 2025, and the transcript shows my filing status as Head of Household with 4 exemptions. Is this all looking correct? Do the numbers add up? The tax per return shows $3,747.00 but then I have credits totaling -$10,751.00 (-$3,322.00 and -$7,429.00), which would give me the refund of -$7,004.00. I'm just trying to understand if this means I'll be getting a refund of $7,004.00 or if I'm misinterpreting something on this transcript. The document says "ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT" which seems to confirm this is a refund coming my way.

Anybody else notice the IRS is actually processing stuff faster this year? My return only took like 2 weeks
